Sean Penn: Bush Is 'Beelzebub'
Sean Penn is at it again, shooting off his mouth at a news conference for the Toronto International Film Festival and calling President Bush "Beelzebub."
Penn used the biblical term for a prince of devils while promoting the remake of the political drama "All the King's Men" on Sunday.
"One could make the argument that George Bush is a good politician," Penn said at one point. Then he added: "I think the issue is how you define politician. Once upon a time, politics was the organization of things to benefit the people."
Penn said the definition has changed – much as it has for "good actor," which now means, he said, "contest winner," Editor & Publisher reported.
"So that's the level of politician I think he's good at," Penn continued. "Out of context, he's Beelzebub – and a dumb one."

Penn – spotlighted as one of "Hollywood's Most Obnoxious" in the August issue of NewsMax Magazine – has the lead role in "All the King's Men," playing a Huey Long-type politician.
The movie industry bible, Variety, panned the movie as "overstuffed."
